yeah, glad you love it. the MMO version is based on the III, which is a little...you know. but i would still love to see how it actually works.

You know that they are starting the Closed Beta today?

I read this on another forum. here is the thread

It has been over 2 years, since the tribes of the east charged into the depths of Antagarich with the hammers of fate in their hands, and we have no idea what Fate has in store for the denizens of Harmondale. Are we lost? Forgotten? Or perhaps the whole world is only a shared delusion, created by our wandering minds?

Maybe your feelings are the result of a spell cast by your enemies, to force you out of Harmondale? No! This magnificent world of might and magic could not be a mere illusion. You truly are a Hero of Might and Magic!

Heroes of Might and Magic Online (HoMM Online) is an online game that combines the classic elements of HoMM III, with the updated graphics of HoMM V, to present a unique gameplay experience. HoMM Online is a turn-based online game that puts the emphasis on strategic planning and tactical skill, while allowing players to socialize and create their own legends of glory!

You have 8 playable factions to choose from, with 16 classes and 56 creatures to use. After choosing a hero, you can learn more than 20 special hero skills, cast hundreds of spells, and partake in thousands of quests as you advance your path as a soldier for hire. The fact that it is online also offers you a wider opportunity to PK other players! We’ve built a special Arena to hold all kinds of PK Tournaments, to allow the bravest warriors to test their mettle. You can also ask your friend to play together, create your very own Legion, and learn craft skills to create your own unique Legion buildings!

Aren’t these wonderful? Want to experience the closed beta first hand?

May 7th is the day we put pen to paper, and write our own legend! It is said that we can claim the precious and unique closed beta codes, but the limited supply is running out! If you are a strategy game fan, you wouldn’t want to miss this chance to experience a true remembrance of a F2P classic strategy MMO!
